Guess GAS are out of the question then.

Have 4 GStar and 2 pairs of GAS. A couple of Duck and Cover and a French Connection. I find the GAS have the best fit, while the Gstar attract the most "attention" in terms of look. Nothing too fancy going on mind you. Had several pairs of Diesel a while back but ended up lobbing them out after too many years of wear and tear.

That's not even including the cords ,

I can attest to the quality of diesel jeans, although at this time I only have one diesel bathing suit and a few shirts....I sold all of my worn diesel jeans on Ebay to people outside the US for about $100... they thought it was a great value too.

^Will look into 575 jeans...

^in deed very f*cking stupid... however, with car wrapping technology these days, I doubt its actual paint, rather a cover that can be removed...

This is NOT a wrap.











Now THAT is a car worth showing off. All done with sharpies.

Every time someone sees a picture of this car they don't know what to say and end up asking to see more pictures. So here they are for everyone to enjoy! The car was actually done in sharpie markers on the paint and then finished with a clear coat for protection. It took about 2 weeks total. Prestige (Lamborghini Miami) definitely shocked a lot of people when this car was first seen in California during the Concorso Italiano/Pebble Beach week. It attracted attention good and unfortunately bad everywhere it went.

there wasn't a "White Clear Bra" applied first?

Re: Where can I buy GAS denim on-line?

That was done directly onto the white painted surface of that car. Then after the sharpies, it had coats of clear added to it.

^^^^exactly?

Re: Where can I buy GAS denim on-line?

I buy them at www.dkny.com but I buy the ones they are really trying to sell. Not the brand new overpriced stuff.

Frankly if I knew how to sew, I'd just make my own jeans. Then I could really talk about my jeans, Because I made them.

Been there, done that!! I made a guy I was going out with a pair of jeans once, wouldn't do it again!! I used to make my own until I discovered you could buy designer jeans in op shops !! Although I'm thinking about doing it again so I get an exact fit. Diesels may fit men properly, but they are shocking for women . They really flatten the arse!

Dhar, what is selvedge denim ??

Guess I came to this discussion a little late.

Selvage denim


Selvage on a pair of jeans


Selvage denim (also called selvedge denim) is a type of denim which forms a clean natural edge that does not unravel. It is commonly presented in the unwashed or raw state. Typically, the selvage edges will be located along the out-seam of the pants, making it visible when cuffs are worn. Although selvage denim is not completely synonymous with unwashed denim, the presence of selvage typically implies that the denim used is a higher quality.
The word "selvage" comes from the phrase "self-edge", the natural edge of a roll of fabric. As applied to denim, it means that which is made on old-style shuttle looms. These looms weave fabric with one continuous cross thread (the weft) that is passed back and forth all the way down the length of the bolt. As the weft loops back into the edge of the denim it creates this “self-edge” or Selvage. Selvage is desirable because the edge can’t fray like lower grade denims that have separate wefts which leave an open edge that must be stitched. Shuttle looming is a more time-consuming weaving process that produces denim of a tighter weave resulting in a heavier weight fabric that lasts.
Shuttle looms weave a more narrow piece of fabric, and thus a longer piece of fabric is required to make a pair of jeans (approximately 3 yards). To maximize yield, traditional jean makers use the fabric all the way to the selvage edge. When the cuff is turned up the two selvage edges, where the denim is sewn together, can be seen. The selvage edge is usually stitched with colored thread: green, white, brown, yellow, and red (red is the most common). Fabric mills used these colors to differentiate between fabrics.
Most selvage jeans today are dyed with synthetic indigo, but natural indigo dye is available in smaller niche denim labels such as Evisu. Though they are supposed to have the same chemical makeup, there are more impurities in the natural indigo dye. Loop dying machines feed a rope of cotton yarn through vats of indigo dye and then back out. The dye is allowed to oxidize before the next dip. Multiple dips create a deep dark indigo blue.
In response to increased demand for jeans in the 1950's, American denim manufacturers replaced the old shuttle style looms with modern projectile looms. The new looms produced fabric faster and wider (60-inches or wider), though lighter and less durable. Synthetic dyeing techniques along with post-dye treatments were introduced to control shrink and twist.
